Best Treatments For Acne Scars - Minneapolis Edition

Acne scars can be frustrating—they linger long after breakouts are gone, affecting both skin texture and confidence. The good news? Today’s advanced skin treatments can dramatically smooth and even out your complexion. At CLEO Skin + Laser in Minneapolis, we offer a carefully curated selection of laser and energy-based treatments that target acne scars at the source for long-lasting results.

Pico Laser for Pigment & Fine Texture

If your acne scars are paired with discoloration—such as lingering red or brown marks—the Pico Laser is an excellent choice. Using ultra-short pulses of energy, it breaks up excess pigment while stimulating collagen production for smoother skin. It’s gentle, safe for most skin types, and requires minimal downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.

Sublative Resurfacing for Deep Indentations

Some acne scars cause deeper pitting or uneven texture. Sublative Resurfacing uses fractional radiofrequency to deliver energy below the skin’s surface, encouraging collagen and elastin regeneration. This treatment is especially effective for softening indented scars while maintaining a shorter recovery compared to fully ablative lasers.

RF Microneedling for Comprehensive Skin Renewal

When you want to tackle texture, tone, and firmness in one treatment, RF Microneedling is our go-to. It combines microneedling with targeted radiofrequency heat to remodel the skin at multiple depths. The result: smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin over time.

Why We Often Recommend a Combination Approach

Every patient’s scars are different—some are shallow and pigmented, while others are deep and textured. For that reason, we often combine Pico Laser, Sublative Resurfacing, and RF Microneedling for optimal results. Your provider will tailor a plan to your skin type, scar type, and downtime preferences.
